Program Description

Event Details

Zen gardens are one of the most breathtaking sights you’ll ever see. These special areas were originally created in Japan to assist Zen Buddhist monks with daily meditation and introspection. 

Many people like to keep tabletop zen gardens on their work desks to take a mindfulness break during the day while others like to display them in living areas to give guests a tranquil activity to do. Raking patterns in the sand and rearranging rocks helps increase mindfulness. Engaging in these activities is a great way to clear our minds and reflect on our thoughts.

Join us in creating your own zen garden to take home for display and mindfulness practice.
